Cleaning is one of those chores that I don’t mind doing. Well that is once I get stated. Up until that point, I’m dreading every minute that I must wield a broom, mop, and toilet brush.
One of my resolutions for the New Year is to keep a cleaner, more organized house. Here are some [...]
I absolutely adore visiting with my husband’s family. After all these years, I have gotten used to the cigarette smoke. Some visits it really seems to aggravate my allergies. After a few days of being at home, everything is back to normal. Now it appears my husband has developed an allergy to cigarette smoke that [...]
Now here is a fun game that we play practically daily at our house. It’s called “Have you seen my..” We are always either looking for belts, wallets, keys, Woody and Buzz dolls, dinosaurs, puppies, my mind, etc.
Now finding items for my husband is pretty simple as he is a creature of habit. His [...]
Do you spend a lot of time looking through acne products to find one that will work for you? My husband sometimes gets adult acne, so we’ve recently bought him some acne products to help with outbreaks. But did you know that eating certain foods can also help your acne?

I used a small amount to hold in place the aluminum foil on our back windows. I [...]
One of the best ways to get better performance from your laptop is to upgrade your laptop memory. I recently upgraded mine to 1 GB from 512K. The difference has been very noticeable as it boots and accesses windows faster. It was relatively inexpensive and took less than five minutes to install.
I did need a [...]
Right now, McDonald’s is running a special on their drinks. Buy any size for just $1. That is cheaper than buying a 20 ounce, so we’ve been picking up a large Diet Coke at McDonald’s while we’re in town instead of a 20 ounce drink. My husband loves this because he prefers a drink with [...]
In lieu of a vacation this year, we are opting to do short, day trips throughout the summer. It will be cheaper since most places are within 60 miles of here and some are even free to do. No need to pack the Delsey luggage either for just these short excursions. That’s another plus since [...]
